Seriously why can’t we just call them crimes? A crime is a crime regardless the motivation. I’m here to take a whip to the concept of hate crimes. I don’t know when the whole idea started (probably long before I was born), but people apparently thought labeling certain crimes as hate crimes would help deter crime rates. Well for as long as they’ve been around | Read More »

On his radio program both today and yesterday, Rush Limbaugh discussed the comments made by Zimmerman trial prosecution witness Rachel Jeantel during her appearance on CNN with Piers Morgan about 38 hours ago. Limbaugh understood Jeantel’s comments to suggest that Trayvon Martin thought Zimmerman was a “gay rapist” and Trayvon was not “that kind of way.” Limbaugh said Jeantel’s answers to questions asked by Piers | Read More »

The spooky old pulp avenger known as The Shadow was fond of hissing a lesson at his defeated criminal enemies: The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. The fruit of total politics is bitter, too. One cannot help noticing that everything in our hyper-politicized culture is becoming a teeth-and-fingernails struggle in which the losing side is demonized. This kind of thinking even found its way into | Read More »

If you’re a sports fan, or even if you’re not, you’ve likely heard about NBA athlete Jason Collins publicly announcing that he’s gay. Of course, gays in professional sports is hardly a revelation, but Collins has the distinction of being the first openly gay athlete who currently plays for a major American team sport. It’s making headlines everywhere, right on up to the cover of | Read More »

It’s not turning into a good year for the Obama administration – in fact, it’s not been a good administration for the Obama administration – but I think that this is hardly an excuse for a Cabinet level official to use low-rent sexual epithets in public: At the Florida Democratic Party State Convention over the weekend, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis insulted members of | Read More »

One of the nicest things about being a mainstream supporter of the Global War on Terror is that you are blessed, for a given value of ‘blessed,’ with a collection of the vilest, most despicable, most appalling domestic enemies in recent political history. Nazis, Communists, Stalinists, Maoists, blackshirt anarchists, Jew-haters of various flavors, anti-human deep ecologists, anti-Israel conspiracy theorists… honestly, by the time that the | Read More »

Not for whimps or pantywaists. A humorous introduction that leads into some very serious points. I seem somewhat provincial to many people and, while I try, I don’t always keep up with current events the way I should. For a long time I was unaware there was a Gay Agenda. I would actually ridicule the term when I heard or saw it being used. I | Read More »

[UPDATE] And when they pull in the sick buggers that threw the bottles, make sure that none of these guys do the pulling in. But don’t preen, ye blackshirts. The cops may have committed manslaughter.
